Coaching long snappers

Hey Coach,

Have them always warmup in a progression of ball over their head with both hands while standing upright and using snapping motion of ball to partner. Have them kickslide the snap from a regular center stance
and practice hitting an imaginary "window" that will deliver the ball neatly into the Punter's hands. Practice their hand placement on the ball that when snapped will deliver the ball in a good tight spiral and be in the punter's hands in .03 of a second or under.

Coach Easton-TIGER ONE

HAND PLACEMENT IS SUCH THAT THE LEFT HAND IS ABOVE THE RIGHT HAND (RIGHT HANDED SNAPPER)
ON THE BALL. ON THE ACTUAL SNAP, THE SNAPPER GIVES THE BALL SPIN WITH THE LEFT HAND MOVING RIGHT AND THE RIGHT HAND MOVING DOWNWARD AT THE SAME TIME. DO NOT SNAP BLIND, HAVE HIM ALWAYS LOOKING BETWEEN HIS LEGS AT THE PUNTER, OR ACTUALLY THE WINDOW IN FRONT OF THE PUNTER.

Make Sure the snapper never locks his legs while in the process of snapping. It will cause the ball to sail over the kickers head. Bill Williams has some great tapes in his library on coaching the long snapper. www.billwilliamsfcpga.com
